Food and Feeding

There is an offer on Wagg complete dried dog food at the mo....2 large bags (15kg) for £15 at Pets at Home. This is what we feed Buddy on. We has a real nightmare finding a food that didnt just go straight through him, and this seems to work. Its a basic food, good for the level of exercise he gets and his coat is really glossy since he started on it. He usually has a helping of sardines or meat on it a couple of times a week, plus any left over veg/ pasta/rice....and good for the price!

I use Wainwrights Light as the main meal, mixed every other day with a tin of dog food. Tend to stick with dry food, but like to vary their diet as often as I can.

All 3 of my hounds are crazy carrot eaters.... don't know why they love them.... they can keep themselves entertained when I chuck a carrot at them. Spencer will cry the house down if I buy banana's, so always cave in and let him have one.

I have been very lucky with my Lurchers, as they have never had an upset stomach and I know some dogs do suffer and it can be tricky to find the right food. Maybe Wainwrights keeps them firm and regular, I have never used another brand as I know this one works, but I do try and supplement by adding in Chicken the odd tin of tuna or anyting nearing the sell by date!

Also they catch their own food occasionally, rabbits, rats and the like which is not something I encourage but I don't judge either as its their nature and both are ex-workers.

Wainwrights light at the moment is on special offer in Pets at Home, usually £30 (15kgs), now on offer at £20 for a limited period, bought myself 5 x 15kg which will tie me over until June and saved me £50 by buying in bulk.

Would be interesting to read your findings.

Hi Borzaff, I'm not sure how much yeast would contribute to bloating, but you would think it might have some effect. Its not something I've considered, but I'll see if I can find out any info.

Hi Sal, thanks I would appreciate that, I tried googling it but nothing relevant came up.  It probably won't be a risk in the quantity thats added to food but I'm a dreadful worrier where my dogs are concerned.
